Tracking of anatomical and functional results obtained after non-surgical treatment of the distal radius including 51 patients. Tracking of the results was based upon Anatomical Score System and Gartland-Werley Score System. The final numerical results obtained through Anatomical Score were the following:excellent in 12 cases (23.52%), good in 30 cases (58.82%), satisfactory in 8 cases (15.68%), dissatisfactory in 1 case (1.96%). According to the Gartland-Werley Score System, the final results included: excellent in 19 cases (37.25%), good in 24 cases (47.00%), satisfactory in 7 cases (13.72%), dissatisfactory in 1 case (1.96%). This work also presents correlation between Residual Deformity score, Subjective Hardship score and Objective dysfunction, with the results obtained by Anatomical score and Gartland-Werley total score. The possibility of dissatisfactory results obtained by radiological screening followed by dissatisfactory outcome is described in literature; however, dissatisfactory screening results could be found in up to 31.7% of cases with satisfactory clinical findings. Our work records 15.7% of the latter cases. We might say that non-surgical treatment is not to be accepted as the only and exclusive approach to distal radius fracture. Thus, proper evaluation is mandatory.
